The most commonly accepted definition of obesity is the WHO categories of BMI [weight (kg)/height (m2)] of 30 kg/m2 or higher. According to this definition, there are three grades of obesity: grade I (BMI 30.0–34.9 kg/m2), grade II (BMI 35.0–39.9 kg/m2), and grade III (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2) [25]. Nonetheless, BMI is an imperfect and controversial criterion [26] since it does not differentiate between lean and fat tissues. Using percent body fat is another way to classify individuals as obese. Normal percent body fat for an adult man is considered to be approximately 12–20 % of total body weight and 20–30 % for an adult woman [27]. Alternatively, the WHO has suggested that obesity is identified at levels of higher than 25 % body weight for men and 35 % for women [28], with somewhat higher levels established for elderly individuals (\u003e28 % for men and \u003e40 % for women) [29]. Percent body fat values for obese individuals separated by sex, age, and ethnicity have also been proposed by Gallagher et al. [30]. Interestingly, the distribution of body fat is also associated with increased health risks, with android adiposity being more problematic compared to the gynoid adiposity. These are most easily identified with waist circumference measures (\u003e88 cm for men and \u003e102 cm for women) [27, 31] or a waist to hip ratio calculation (\u003e0.90 for men and \u003e0.80 for women) [32].","tracks":[{"project":"2_test","denotations":[{"id":"24740742-11115784-56351029","span":{"begin":711,"end":713},"obj":"11115784"},{"id":"24740742-11115784-56351030","span":{"begin":1373,"end":1375},"obj":"11115784"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"24740742-11115784-56351029","pred":"source","obj":"2_test"},{"subj":"24740742-11115784-56351030","pred":"source","obj":"2_test"}]}],"config":{"attribute types":[{"pred":"source","value type":"selection","values":[{"id":"2_test","color":"#93ceec","default":true}]}]}}
